What Is France in Need of in This Day and Age? Isn't It a Trump à la Française?

 

While Sébastien Laye believes that France’s economic collapse is inevitable and has been calling his country therefore nothing less than an Utter Merde-Show, his fellow author Nicolas Conquer — who has left his role as one of ROF's spokesmen while remaining involved with the group — has just published a book saying that the solution is looking towards a French Trump. Or a Trump à la française, if you will.   

Subtitled "French Anger, American Mirror", Nicolas Conquer's book is described as follows by Fayard and by Amazon: 

America is not a model. It is a mirror. 

From the plains of the Midwest to the hedgerows of the Cotentin peninsula, the same anger rumbles, the same divide widens, the same yearning for a representative figure grows. Trumpism is not an American phenomenon. It is a symptom that is now ours [here in France]. 

A French-American citizen, a spokesperson for Republicans Overseas France, and a candidate in the Manche department, Nicolas Conquer has experienced the political realities on both sides of the Atlantic. He is not predicting the arrival of a "French Trump." He is proving that he is already on his way. 

Will you recognize him when he emerges? 

Fayard et Amazon :

L’Amérique n’est pas un modèle. Elle est un miroir.  

Des plaines du Midwest aux bocages du Cotentin, la même colère gronde, la même fracture s’élargit, la même attente d’incarnation monte. Le trumpisme n’est pas un phénomène américain. C’est un symptôme qui est désormais le nôtre.

Franco-américain, porte-parole de Republicans Overseas France, candidat dans la Manche, Nicolas Conquer a connu les réalités politiques des deux rives de l’Atlantique. Il ne prédit pas l’avènement d’un « Trump français ». Il prouve qu’il est en train d’arriver.

Saurez-vous le reconnaître quand il surgira ?
